The New Walt Whitman Fellowship
LeavesOfGrass.Org has long pioneered the Sailor Lover Quaker (SLQ) approach to
Whitman studies, a compelling alternative to the standard academic model. After 15 years
of sustained investigation, beholden only to historians working outside the field of Whitman
studies, this effort finally cracked “The Whitman Code,” revealing remarkable sexual
undercurrents just below the surface of Whitman's “New City of Friends.”

The New Walt Whitman Fellowship
Today, LeavesOfGrass.Org is expanding its mission, in order to bring
Walt's legacy to a youthful, post-literate society: we are
translating one poem from Leaves of Grass into the new lingua franca: animation.
Whether your interest is in great poetry, American Studies,
Quakerism, gay history, maritime history, or Whitman's continuing influence over civic life and the fine arts,
consider yourself welcome in the New Walt Whitman Fellowship. Mitchell Santine Gould, Distinguished Curator, has
published on Whitman in Walt Whitman: an Encyclopedia; Quaker History; The Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide;
Great Events from History: GLBT Events, 1848-2006; LGBTRAN; and The Friend.
